Margaret Stohl Knihy

Záhadné sny Ethana Wata sa stále viac menia na vízie, ktoré sa mu priamo pred očami zjavujú už aj pri plnom vedomí. Lena sa mu stále viac vzďaľuje a on netuší, čo sa s ňou vlastne deje. Bezmocne sleduje, ako mu láska preteká pomedzi prsty a uniká nevedno kam. Nechápe, že sa ho Lena snaží len chrániť. Pred temnými zaklínačmi, no i sama pred sebou. Zelená v jej očiach sa postupne mení na zlatú farbu zaklínačov a nikto netuší, či v nej nakoniec nevyhrá jej mocná matka. Ethan preniká hlbšie a hlbšie do sveta zaklínačov, odhaľuje skryté pravdy a stáročia dobre skrývaný systém podzemných chodieb, ktorý sa nikde nezačína ani nekončí. Alebo azda áno? Nájde Ethan Veľkú bariéru na pokraji všetkých vecí? Podarí sa mu zachrániť Lenu pred ňou samou i pred jej vlastnou matkou? Zvíťazí v jej očiach zelená, alebo zlatá?

Ethan Carter Wate žije v Bohom zabudnutom južanskom mestečku Gatlin od svojho narodenia a nevie sa dočkať dňa, kedy odtiaľ vypadne. Tento fakt je odhalený na prvej strane a spôsobuje hromadné stotožnenie sa takmer všetkých čitateľov s hlavnou postavou. Následne sa presúvame na strednú školu, kde zisťujeme, že aj napriek obrovskému odporu k svojej domovine je náš Ethan pomerne populárnym indivíduom, členom basketbalového mužstva a ex-priateľom jednej z najkrajších dievčat na škole.

Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home from the Great Barrier, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena's Claiming. Even Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals is affected -- and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What -- or who -- will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin? For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He's being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it's not Lena -- and the mysterious figure is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself -- forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn't know why, and he's afraid to ask. Sometimes there's no going back. And this time there won't be a happy ending. SPECIAL BONUS: Includes "Dream Dark," a thrilling short story set before Beautiful Chaos. When Link joined his best friend, Ethan Wate, on a quest through a mysterious network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, he knew the journey would be dangerous. But he had no idea it would change his life forever.

Is death the end . . . or only the beginning? Ethan Wate has spent most of his life longing to escape the stiflingly small Southern town of Gatlin. He never thought he would meet the girl of his dreams, Lena Duchannes, who unveiled a secretive, powerful, and cursed side of Gatlin, hidden in plain sight. And he never could have expected that he would be forced to leave behind everyone and everything he cares about. So when Ethan awakes after the chilling events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find a way to return to Lena and the ones he loves. Back in Gatlin, Lena is making her own bargains for Ethan's return, vowing to do whatever it takes -- even if that means trusting old enemies or risking the lives of the family and friends Ethan left to protect. Worlds apart, Ethan and Lena must once again work together to rewrite their fate, in this stunning finale to the Beautiful Creatures series.

Winner of the 2013 Goodreads Choice Award for Graphic Novels & Comics! There were no surprises in Gatlin County. We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever. Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them. In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.
